In this article, I’ll share what I’ve learned so that you can save yourself the time and effort to research wiring diagrams and the hassle usually involved when setting up Thermostat Wiring. Over time, however, I’ve managed to crack the code, so to speak, and now I understand how certain manufacturers like to color-code their terminal wires. I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing many different smart thermostats in my quest to build the best, most convenient Smart Home possible, like the Nest Thermostat, EcoBee Thermostat, and Sensi Thermostat.īeing a Smart Home nerd has its perks, but having to constantly switch between different Thermostats developed by different companies is not one of them. I know of your woes, and that’s exactly why I wrote this article.
You’re in for double the trouble if you’re trying to swap one thermostat out for another ‘cause now you have to deal with two different companies’ systems for color-coding. There isn’t any standardization in place, so you’re at the mercy of the manufacturer when it comes to how they color-code their wires for terminals. If you’ve ever had to set up a Thermostat, you know exactly what a hassle it can be. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
